1. The Onion – White House Denies Flickering, Green Trump A Hologram Speculation about President Trump’s health goes to a new extreme, as maybe he’s not even able to make his own public appearances. And you get to see Donald Trump as a green electronic projection. 2. The Babylon Bee – 12 Crimes You Can Get Away With By Saying “We Are On Stolen Land” Wokeness as a defense against the police is taken to its logical extremes. Some clever wordplay as the Babylon Bee staff runs through the gamut of crimes, from jaywalking to burning down Minneapolis, each with…

Immigration has always been a hot-button issue in America. But with increased activity from the Trump administration’s US Immigration and Customs Enforcement, as well as large-scale protest efforts, heightened by the recent deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, the complex topic has become uncomfortable to even bring up.
